I do not trust PayPal. I get messages for items I have not purchased.

For the past several years, I have been getting messages supposedly from PayPal. I have not used their service for several years to purchase anything because I do not trust them. There is no way to make contact with PayPal to delete whatever data they have under my name. If I cannot use VISA, I will not be purchasing .

I contacted PayPal regards to same question. Part of the answer was if

it is from PayPal it will always address you by your name that PayPal

has on record for you. Never will it be addressed as "PayPal Customer"

If it addresses you as "Dear PayPal Customer" best chances is is someone

phishing. NEVER REPLY to an e-mail address given in such a message.

Replying to it leaves you computer open to virus, which may take your

otherwise secure data, and make use of bank info, etc.

Report the e-mail to the SPOOF e-mail address <spoof@paypal.com>
